2) Cardinal violations fixed in neutral, must be found answers by Conner
As the late Sunday loss to Niners was not painful enough, the news was that James Conner would be made for the season could have harmed more. Trees Benson will jump into the lead role now, an average of 5.0 meters on the rush of the career, but Benson has never had more than 13 contact in the NFL game before. He will need help and running stations must be better. Left tools Paris Johnson Jr. And his copy, Kelvin Beachum, are both injuries for Thursday. But it’s not just the running game that needs to be fixed. Kyler Murray has not been bad but the restrictions of the game have been grinned. There were three critical opportunities in the second half. Trey McBride has been good but is under his 2024 production ratio. Surprisingly, so is Marvin Harrison Jr., who was guilty of a bad drop Sunday and has had no more than six targets this season. No other receiver or dense end has more than four receptions in 2025 and Cardinals have only two eg shipments over the past 10 quarters. Jonathan Gannon has defended a player who called Drew Petzing but Cardinals will have to show more effort in advance.
3) Seahawks’ defense will be a top -class unit
You may be surprised to realize that Seattle allows the second -session of the game (15.7) to three weeks and allows 18 or fewer in all three games. The biggest issue has been in college after playing the last two games without Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and novice Nick Emmanwori (ankle). Julian Love (Hamstring) was also injured in week 3, although Derion Kendrick, which replaced Witherspoon on Sunday, had two interceptions. It is not clear which among these three will be available on Thursday in Arizona, but Seahawks have done without them. The Run defense is in third place 3.2 meters per attempt. Seahawks are also creating the fourth best QB pressure rate 44.3 percent, despite the fact that blitzing at the second lowest ratio of NFL (17.2 percent). One big reason has been a play by Byron Murphy II, which leads all NFL defense with 13 pressure. He has not been a bilingual as often this season and is proving more destruction inside.
